Emirates:
Al-Futtaim Health, part of Al-Futtaim Group and Mohamad and
Obaid AlMulla Group (M&O Group) are proud to announce a strategic collaboration
to expand the region's healthcare sector. This partnership is a major milestone
in healthcare development, paving the way for new expansions across the UAE,
GCC, MENA, and Egypt.
As part of this collaboration, American Healthcare Systems (AHS), the healthcare
management division of M&O Group, will oversee the management of HealthHub
clinics and pharmacies, Al-Futtaim Health's chain of primary care community
clinics and pharmacies in the UAE and beyond. The partnership aims to provide
exceptional healthcare services and innovative solutions to the community
through an integrated and performance-driven approach.
AHS offers the broadest bandwidth of health management services, including
revenue management, HR services, Biomedical Facilities, Pharmacy, Laboratory,
Outpatient, Daycare and Marketing Services, Branding, and Financial Planning and

Under the agreement with Al-Futtaim Health, AHS' exceptional management
stewardship includes overseeing the revenue cycle from patient registration to
final bill payment, recruitment of clinical and non-clinical staff, maintenance
and repair of medical equipment and other biomedical facilities, management and
operation of pharmacies, laboratories, daycare, and outpatient services, and
developing marketing strategies, financial plans, and revenue growth strategies.
AHS' comprehensive performance-driven processes promote greater operational
efficiency, cost savings, innovation, talent retention and enhanced
competitiveness.
The collaboration is in addition to an earlier partnership between American
Hospital Dubai, the flagship brand of the Mohamad & Obaid AlMulla Group, and
Al-Futtaim Health. Under the agreement, Al-Futtaim Health's aesthetic clinic
Maison Lutétia Dubai, a member of the American Hospital Care Network (AHCN),

providers enhance their clinical, educational, and research-led healthcare and
organisational performance through expertise and skills sharing. They will also
gain exclusive access to American Hospital Dubai's knowledge, best practices,
and breakthroughs in advanced healthcare.

provider in the UAE, delivering exceptional services and innovative solutions to
the community through its network of HealthHub clinics and medical facilities.
